Post by: LizzieW on Sunday 22 April 07 00:11 BST (UK): Manchester has changed a bit since I was last there in about 1962! I used to go up from Altrincham on the electric train (I understand that line is now used for trams) but despite being almost 21 was only allowed to go in the daytime. How things have changed, kids of 12 and 13 are out all night now.

Post by: pennine on Monday 23 April 07 00:57 BST (UK): Great piccis but I am sad that I did not know the event was taking place. I am only 35 miles from Manchester and could have got there. Why was it not publicised more or was it a case of you only wanted certain people there?

A very miffed Pennine

Title: Re: Manchester Meet April 2007
Post by: Ann Baker on Monday 23 April 07 02:15 BST (UK): Hi Pennine

Was no question of exclusion. This started off as a meet between a couple of folks in chat room (me and Pickers) and grew from there . Was folks in chat room who all know each other well who met up. ie folks who speak in or outside of room on phone / msn regularly some of whom had met before.

We discussed and decided not to put on main boards so sorry you peeved cos was pals getting together who hadn't seen each other in a while.

I know ones on boards take a lot of time to set up - my better half and Gadget doing Scottish one. Ours was very informal.

However there will be another to which you are most welcome and we will put on boards when we have agreed date. If you are willing to help organise that would be great.
